The legendary car maker communicates very clearly that its cars are to be raced. It’s an obvious message, but one often overshadowed by the brand’s prestige. Ferrari’s legacy turns its modern cars into status symbols and its vintage vehicles into museum treasures — but speak to anyone involved with the company and you’ll learn that a Ferrari left still is almost no Ferrari at all.

So it would make sense that a race-car-making company would provide a venue for its customers to actually race. Since 1993, the Ferrari Challenge has been that venue: a place for teams to race competition-spec versions of a Ferrari road car — currently the Ferrari 458 Challenge, a full-on race-ready version of the 458 Italia.
